America wasn't made for me.

America wasn't great?
Im sorry, didn't know.
We aren't truly free?
Is that an actual fact?
I didn't even know.
I Couldnt see.
Cause I knew from the start,
America wasn't made for me.
There was a recession?
People went broke?
People were struggling?
Rights are being revoked?
I didn't even know.
I couldn't see.
Cause I knew from the start,
America wasn't made for me.
Police are corrupt?
The government is unfair?
People are homeless and in despair?
I didn't even know.
I couldn't see.
Cause I knew from the start,
America wasn't made for me.
At the end of the day
I truly can't see.
Its always been this way for me.
Me and my dear people
Are always treated unfairly.
I'll never forget
I've never forgot,
My people weren't people here
We were items that America bought.
So excuse me if I didn't know,
And pardon me cause I couldn't see.
Even though we are the core
Of how America came to be,
I've known from the very start...
This land is was never truly meant for me.
